Vice President Mike Pence’s wife Karen Pence travelled to North Carolina to campaign for a GOP candidate who thinks things were better when gay sex was a crime.

On Monday, the Second Lady of the United States travelled to the state to stump for GOP candidate Mark Harris, an evangelical pastor with extreme anti-LGBT views.


Harris, who is running for the US House of Representatives in North Carolina’s 9th District, has lamented the “moral decay” of the United States going from the criminalisation of homosexuality to the so-called “criminalisation of Christianity.”

Speaking in 2015, he claimed: “We have watched in one generation where homosexuality was once criminalised to now we see the criminalisation of Christianity. And I could go on and on with the entertainment, with the education, with the life issue.”

Right Wing Watch reports that the candidate is a member of the Family Research Council’s Watchmen on the Wall network. The Family Research Council is a listed anti-LGBT hate group whose leader has been condemned for comparing gay people to Nazis.

1. WTH is she talking about, "the criminalization of Christianity"?

That statement is about as stupid as Melania claiming to be the most bullied person in the world.

2. That statement is by the candidate, but since she supports him ....

he is speaking for her as well as her husband. These so-called “Christians” are a scary bunch.

3. It's made up BS

Pretty great scam they got going claiming they are persecuted because people are trying to stop them from discriminating and persecuting groups of people they don't like eh?

Perfect example of GOP projection. What they falsely accuse others of doing, they are actually doing!


"The criminalization of Christianity"...well that's just odd seeing as how there is practically a Christian church on every corner in America not to mention the airwaves and bookstores are loaded with prosperity preaching con men and women getting filthy stinking rich off of grams and gramps social security rent money!

Why the jails and prisons in this country must be filled up with these poor persecuted folks huh?

Like I live in redstate hell and I'm a Christian, ain't nobody persecuting me for my faith.

4. Christianity has become an evil pox on humanity. And years ago I used to think it was a

good thing. I left, and never looked back. I'm curious to know who the F he thinks is persecuting Christianity.

5. She had better be careful.

One of these days somebody is going to out her husband.

7. Yeah scary

This is another reason that Trump is packing SCOTUS with hardcore right drunks and rapists.

They dream of outlawing gay folks again. That's a huge part of MAGA to them no doubt.
